Gonna need an attribution to go with that quotation, pedant.

It’s possible that 💯% of those who didn’t vote would have voted No

We’re working on it, for the Olympics. Putting capitalism to work for transport reform.

In some other states yes, but the abortion protection in Florida failed to pass, leaving their “6-week” (2 weeks from detectability) ban in place.

(Edit: on my phone, didn’t see you were replying such that your “they” refers to the 57% of those who voted, which was insufficient to pass the amendment.)

Some people are allergic to them, but I don’t know if there’s a Venn diagram overlap with your allergies

Can you do pink peppercorns? They’re a different kind of tree but might have the same chemical.

Otherwise, some of the most “chili” flavors come from cumin and Mexican oregano and garlic. Coriander is another, and you could add a little kick with allspice. Roasting your bell peppers whole until the skin gets partly charred will give you a faux chipotle flavor. You then discard the seeds and throw them in the blender or food processor so you aren’t eating big chunks of char. Onions of course and tomatoes (canned crushed is fine) and of course ground beef and some beans, I use a can of kidney beans, with the liquid, but use what you like. Often some corn flour or meal is added for thicker, you could crush a few chips or crumble a corn tortilla for that.

I’ve got this all out of order! Char peppers under the broiler first, take out and let cool. Saute your onions in a little olive or corn oil, add garlic and beef, get it browned, add spices, turn down the heat while you get the seeds out of the peppers and chop/puree them. Add them, the tomatoes and beans, taste and add salt, and check if you got all those haphazard spices in. (It’s not done, it needs to simmer awhile, but it’s cooked enough to be safe.) Simmer for… maybe 30 minutes? Or until you’re ready to eat it? If it seems runny, add the tortilla/chip “flour” to thicken it.

You are if course right and they are wrong. But it’s possible they learned this by being yelled at by some curmudgeon who sits at home with their lights on, watching TV on Halloween but screaming at anyone who dares ask for candy. And at all the houses with kids, who welcome them, the parent is out chaperoning their little tribe. Ergo bowl. I say parent because of course they’re all divorced by the time the kids are walking.

How to teach them right? Put a sign on your gatepost, not at the door, easily seen from the street. Remember, if they’re under 3rd grade they’re still learning to read, so keep it simple:

RING BELL FOR CANDY! 🎃🍫🍭🍬👻

Once they do that, you can remind them to say Trick or Treat, and/or admire their costumes.

Baby steps.

I interpreted “I despise getting ready in the dark and getting home in the dark” as you hating both equally. As an adult, I agree I’d rather get up and drive to work in darkness to gain a little daytime after work. But I recall as a child being miserable going to school in darkness.

The difference between DST and ST isn’t going to help that. The daylight is shorter regardless.

Illegal, or do you just have to go through the same process as any other name change?

Personally I ditched my problematic last name gladly, but my MIL kept hers

It’s especially irritating when it’s something like a wedding invitation, they should know you well enough to get it right! Often that comes down to some old fuddy-duddy’s misogyny.

Even if she had taken your surname, she still has her own first name, not John!

So now that you’ve got your Y problem solved, what was the X problem that led you to trying to remember the phrase? Or did you solve that part, but still had that nagging question in the back of your mind?

You’re SoCal? One of the things I do miss about the other place was the Los Angeles sub. The one here is practically non-existent.

There’s never been a United States ID card, for… reasons. As a Californian, I could get a California ID card, at the same place I got my California Driver’s License, if I didn’t intend to drive. The forms have the option of adding Voter Registration using the same information (birth certificate, proof of residence) at the same time. But some states make it all much more complicated.

Noncombative martial arts like Tai Chi derived from the need to hone skills like balance and flexibility separately from combat. Even though they contribute to better fighting they have personal benefits for non-fighters as well. Especially as people age. You could also learn the more harmful martial arts if that’s your goal, but you’ll find the skills learned in the noncombative class will help you win with less harm to your own body.

True of other gods as well, especially the one who insists on a capital G

I think a hard case is best in case of stepping on it when looking for it

I’m sorry your peeps are such assholes. I don’t have anyone to help me look, but at least nobody is making it worse. I have a big bright blue box to shut mine in, because if a nighttime earthquake knocked it away I think I could find it by flashlight. (And a flashlight hanging on every doorknob!)

I feel you, dude. Sleep is the only time mine aren’t on my face and I keep them grabbable, but I don’t want to squish them rolling over in my sleep.
